Mini
Mini is a British automotive marque that has been owned by the German multinational vehicle manufacturer BMW since 2000.
The Mini brand was originally introduced in 1969 when the vehicle model became a marque in its own right, breaking away from the Austin and Morris brands under the British Leyland umbrella.
How popular is Mini in the United Kingdom?
The Mini Hatch was the 7th best selling car of 2018 in the UK. Mini is a consistent favourite among buyers with a leaning for British cultural icons and retro styling.
There are around 750k Mini cars on the roads, showing that the brand is still as popular as ever due to their compact sizing, attractive styling and its reputation as a classy and classic small car.
Mini: a premium product of British motoring
With its unique and unmistakable styling, Mini is firmly placed as a premium product. Its ownership by BMW has added advantages in production, by being able to lean on the executive luxury German marque for many of the advanced technological systems and specialist industry knowledge used in their manufacture.
A piece of British culture and a Hollywood star
Enhancing its popularity as a household name, the original British Mini became a star of the silver screen when it appeared predominantly in the gold-heist movie ‘The Italian Job’ in 1969, starring Michael Caine and Noel Coward. With a remake hitting the screens in 2003, the new Mini was called on to star once again, and a selection of Mini hatch models continued the tradition by featuring in the film.
Mini: a new competitor to the most popular 3-door hatchbacks
Despite its small footprint, the Mini hatch is providing real competition to the Audi A1 and VW Polo due to its premium quality build. And with the weight of BMW behind them, it’s easy to see why.
Why are tyres important?
Your tyres are essential for safe driving - they are the only contact point between your vehicle and the road. Tyres have four key functions; they provide grip for braking and acceleration, maintain steering and directional control, support the weight of the vehicle and act as a shock absorber for vibrations from the road.
Can I drive with worn out tyres?
Driving with worn tyres is extremely dangerous because it can result in serious or fatal road accidents. Tyres should always be well maintained and checked regularly, especially when the seasons change.
The minimum tread for a car tyre in the UK is 1.6mm, however it is recommended that tyres are changed when the tread reaches 3mm.
How do I know if my tyres need replacing?
Some common signs that your tyre may need replacing are:
There's not enough tread depth
You're experiencing a shaky drive
You hear squeaks, whines or other strange noises when driving
You can see cracks in your tyres
You've noticed bulges or blisters
##Is it illegal to drive with bad tyres?
Your tyres are an important safety feature of your car, especially in wet or icy conditions. To keep you and your passengers safe, they must always meet these basic legal requirements:
Be compatible with the other tyres on the car.
Be in a generally good physical condition - no tears, holes or blisters.
Be correctly inflated to the recommended pressure.
Have sufficient tread and depth of tread – at least 1.6mm in the centre ¾ of the tread in a continuous band around the tyre.
And remember the more tread your tyres have, the better your grip on the road and the shorter your stopping distances, therefore the safer your car will be to drive.
Why should I book a tyre check?
The number one reason to book a free tyre check with us is safety. This is the most important reason for keeping your tyres in good condition. A bad tyre could spell disaster when travelling at speed, so it's vital that you get them checked regularly to keep yourself, your passengers and other road users safe.
Keeping your tyres in good nick can also save you money, as good, healthy tyres will ensure your car consumes fuel efficiently.
How long do tyres last?
On average, tyres should last between three to five years, or between 30,000 to 60,000 miles. This can vary greatly between different drivers and different tyre types. Tyre experts Michelin recommend that, after five years or more your tyres should be inspected at least once a year by a professional. Then, if you’re still driving on them after ten years they should be replaced, as a precaution.
